Exposure to radio frequency signals
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the exposure limits for radio frequency (RF) energy set
by the Federal Communications Commissi on (FCC) of the US government. These FCC
exposure limits are derived from the recommendations of two expert organization,
the National counsel on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP) and the
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both case the
recommendations were developed by scientific and engineering experts drawn from
industry, government, and academia after extensive reviews of the sci entific
literature related to the biological effects of RF energy
This exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR is a measure of
the rate of absorption of RF energy by the human body expressed in units of watts
per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC requires wireless phones to comply with a safety limit
of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6W/kg). The FCC exposure limit incorporates a
substantial margin of safety to give additional protection to the public and th account
for any variations in measurements.
SAR tests are conducted using standard operation positions specified by the FCC with
the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency
bands. Although the SR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual
SAR level at the phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is
because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the
power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base
station antenna, the lower the power output of the phone. Before a new model phone is
available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not
exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure.
The tests are performed
27
in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the
FCC for each model. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various
phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement.
The SAR tested with SCH-i760 is 0.271mW/g(PCS, Head Position),
0.728mW/g(CDMA, Head Position), which are below the regulation of FCC restriction
of SAR, 1.6mW/g
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all reported
SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR
information on th is model phone is on file with the FCC and ca n be found un d e r the
Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID, which is
A3LSCHI760, printed in the label on the phone. FCC certification information for this model
phone is attached separation paper.
For Body worn operations, this model phone has been tested and meets the FCC
exposure guidelines when used with a Samsung accessory designated for this product (if
available) or when used with an accessory that contains no metal and that positions the
handset a minimum 1.5cm from the body. Keyboard use on this device is applicable only
for hand-held use.
FCC Notice and Cautions
FCC notice This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)
this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation.
